These are good.... Ive had them before........


Do they get soggy?


They don't really get soggy. The 1 and 1/3 cup of oil seems to be just enough to coat a full box of saltines without having excessive oil


Another MUST TRY. Thanks for sharing.


These sound really good but I'm also concerned about their crispness.


These sound similar to the oyster cracker recipe with oil and hidden valley. I put these in the oven for about 15 min.


I will be trying these soon. I read a book once that described something like this, but it did not give all of the ingredients. Thank you so much for sharing. I will let you know how they turn out. Kilby


I made these crackers last night and they are crisp. The oil does not make them soggy. I plan on storing them in a plastic container.


I made these last week and doubled the Cayenne and Pepper Flakes and they were a bit spicier. My aunt loved this spicier version, but then she is at the nursing home and the food can be pretty bland there! ;-)


I never would have thought of taking these to a nursing home. I bet they did like them.


Great, great recipe!


How clever.................these are definetly a keeper for me. And like your Aunt I know I'll like the spicier version.


Would you serve like a dip with these?
If so what kind?


As for Dip, any kind of white dip, i.e. ranch or onion dip would be good, especially if you made the hotter version, and I think Guacamole would be good too!



I am going to try this to ensure crispness: Once the crackers are coated i'm going to spread them on a cookie sheet & put in oven on lowest setting & let them crisp up for about 15/ 20 minutes. We'll see what happens!


Instead of placing them in a ziplock bag put the contents in a clean 2 gallon pickle jar and roll the jar. This gives all the crackers an even taste. Learned that from a co-workers husband. he loves them. Their a hit at office parties. I serve them with ranch dressing - but I also serve them hotter than usual.


Julietann! That is a good idea for coating them, thanks for sharing
